Gateway Tunnel construction halts Feb. 6, 2026, due to frozen federal funds, risking jobs, economy, and aging infrastructure.
Construction on the Gateway Tunnel project, a critical rail link between New York and New Jersey, is set to halt on February 6, 2026, due to a federal funding freeze.
Despite Congress approving $16 billion in funding, over $4 billion remains frozen by the Trump administration, threatening to disrupt the project, jeopardize 10,000 jobs, and cost the region $100 million daily.
Officials warn the aging tunnels, damaged by Superstorm Sandy, could fail without replacement.
State leaders and transit advocates condemn the freeze as politically driven and economically harmful, while the White House says negotiations continue.
The project’s future remains uncertain as emergency funding sources are exhausted and restarting after a pause would be extremely difficult.
